Thank you @hrag.bsky.social for a fantastic presentation and discussion on Friday. An audience of 163 people who did not want to leave. #arthistory #culturalheritage #manettishremmuseum

The Luigi phenomenon is truly incredible and it strangely feels like the future.

A great turn out at the Templeton Colloquium and wonderful responses to my lecture of the role of critics in empire and our complicity #ManettiShremMuseum #UCDavis

Loooove this Mona Hatoum made out of her hair. “Hair Necklace” (1995)

This Francis Bacon in the Manetti Shrem Museum (on loan from SFMOMA) is 🔥 “Skull of a Gorilla” (1957)

In all seriousness, Konrad Krajewski should be the next Pope. The guy who paid the bills of trans sex workers during the pandemic and went into a Roman sewer to illegally turn back on power and water for migrants squatting in an abandoned building en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konrad_...

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

Are you kidding me?! Bluesky is starting to suck at bit, sadly. This is adult content?!

The Ruby Neri show at the Manetti Shrem Museum at UC Davis was good and it surprised me that it is her first museum solo.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

Squirrels are watching us

The kids are alright.

The @jewishcurrents.bsky.social & @hyperallergic.com collaboration on censored artworks is out in print. Honored to share a byline with @valentinadl.bsky.social đź‘Ź

i think the “NPC” insult is dehumanizing and illiberal and *rich* coming from a guy who thinks entirely in mindless dinner party cliches. in fact, all you need to know what he will think about anything is to know what parties he goes to.

Now more than ever Art should be political. Let’s make BlueSky a place where radical art, music, poetry flourishes, circulates, and is shared.

New Yorkers- have you called Hochul yet today? The line was busy so I sent a message. Here’s the link: www.governor.ny.gov/content/gove...

when the mainstream media says its too hard to check the lies of trump and his minions i know its bullshit. i write for small outlets without the resources and sway of the giant mega outlets and i can do it in minutes. theres literally no reason they cant, except they dont want to.

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.

About 50% of his rockets explode in mid air but sure, let Elon "fix aviation"

If you go to a shrink, should you expect to be shrunk?

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.” No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

The new Trump administration has illegally removed far more people from their jobs because of speech and beliefs in the last month than the entire list of cancelled or pressured people (many of whom were criticized, not fired) compiled by FIRE and others over years. It’s not remotely close.

From today's rally to demand the Governor remove a MAGA mobster mayor who is an imminent threat to New Yorkers

I saw the new Captain America film and it was such a mess of a storyline that I stopped paying attention and just enjoyed the special effects. These Marvel films are getting more and more painful, even if I still love the propaganda aspect of them, because it's so obvious.

At the Betty Parsons exhibition at Alexander Gray Associates … she’s a better painter than she’s often given credit for.
